How to Get Paid to Test and Review New Products Free at Home

Updated: June 2018

Hey everyone!  Did you know that you can become a product tester for Top Name Brands and get paid to test and review their products?  Yep, you can and all for free!  Scroll down to get started!

I've been testing products for money for the past nine years, and love doing it!  I get about 4 to 5 full-size products and sample products to review a month.  I'm getting the first exclusive look at up and coming products not yet on the market.

The reason for product testing is that Top Name Brands would like to know what consumers think about newest products they're developing to be sent to stores, but before they do that they need your opinions.  This way, it'll save them time and money if the product doesn't do well and require changes.

 Wondering How Product Testing Works and How You Can Become a Product Tester?

First, you'll need to sign up with a market research firm that offers product testing at home (Product Testing List is Below).  Once you do this, the market research firm will send you emails to fill out to see if you'll qualify for their current product test.  When you fill out their screener survey, they'll let you know at the end if you are eligible or not.  For example, let say the brand is looking for people to test out their beauty product, if you don't use beauty products then you won't qualify.  If you do, then you'll be eligible for the testing.

Once you get the approval to test, the brand will ask for your address to send you the product to test for a week or two.  Then, they'll follow up with you with an email asking questions about the product you've tested.  When you're done, you get paid!  WOO HOO!  Simple right?

 How Much Can You Make Being a Product Tester?

What's great you get to keep the product you've tested!!!  So, keep the product, and get paid!  It's a win-win!!!!

How much you get paid varies.  I've been paid anywhere from $3-$150. There was a time I tested a website in beta format for HBO (now called HBO-GO), and they paid me $100 for doing it!  Effortless money!

Honestly, when it comes to product testing, and completing paid online surveys, it's really about how much time you put into it.  The more you do, the more you make.  Also, you'll start receiving a lot of paid opportunities in your inbox if the survey panel sees you're an active member, even get a chance to join high paying focus groups, join webcam studies, and video studies.

So, make sure to fill out your profile, that's a critical step to your success in evaluating products.  You'll get the proper product testing assignments that fit your demographic.

Product testing is so much fun and rewarding because you're making a difference with what type of products you'd like on the market.  You're letting your voice be heard.

I've tested a lot of products over the years that I don't remember how many! LOL! I've tested electronics, toys, food products, beauty products, household products, adult products, websites, and so much more!

Steps on Becoming a Successful Product Tester

1. Create an email dedicated to your product testing invitations, so you'll not miss an opportunity to test products from leading brands.  I like to use Gmail for my emails.  Also, when you sign up for a market research panel, make sure you confirm your membership.


2. Complete product testing surveys as soon as possible before invite fills up and no longer needs new people for their product testing assignment.


3. Always tell the truth! Brands need truthful people to evaluate their products. If you lie, companies will not know if they need to make any improvements to their products. Also, you can get yourself removed from their program, and not get paid.


4. Do not speed through a survey that the brands send you.  Product testing Panels cannot use your survey if they noticed that you rushed through it. Your survey will look like your answers are untruthful and cannot be used which will lead you to getting removed from program and money you earned is forfeited.


5. Sign up for more than one product testing program. The more product testing websites you sign up for, the more chances of being invited to join current product testing campaigns.


6. Always fill out your demographic information with each product testing website you're signed up with. This helps them know which product testing surveys are better suited for you, and more than likely you'll will qualify for.


7. Never expose information about new products you've seen on a survey to anyone. That can lead you getting kicked out the program and forfeiting your payment.
